MOSCOW (AP) — The Latest on the crash of a Russian aircraft with 92 people on board en route to Russia's air base in Syria:

A Russian official says the crash of a Russian military passenger plane into the Black Sea could have been caused by a technical malfunction or a crew error, but he believes it could not have been terrorism because the plane was operated by the military.

Viktor Ozerov, head of the defense affairs committee at the upper house of Russian parliament, says in remarks carried by the state news agency RIA Novosti that he "totally excludes" terrorism as a possible cause of the crash.

The plane was en route to Russia's air base in Syria with 92 people on board when it crashed shortly after taking off from the resort town of Sochi. At least one body has been found and there is no word on whether anyone survived. . .

This is sad because, IIRC, these people were on their way to entertain troops.

If I were Putin, and they did figure out it was terrorism, I doubt they would give that advantage to the terrorists like we do.

You can bet your booties there is a huge investigation going on...particularly with the still warm MURDER of one of Russia's ambassadors.

But the motives are diametrically opposed. Their statements are investigative, ours are denial. right now they have no problem stating the obvious as it could have easily been wing icing. Once they have the flight data recorders, as in the plane that went down in the Sinai, then a clearer picture will be told.

Yep.
That there Semtex will NOT WORK on military aircraft.
Nor dynamite.
Nor the various other nitro explosives.

Unfortunately Russian Quality Assurance may be the root cause for this tragedy

We Americans who understand that Obama is trying to pressure Russia into war & has recently authorized distribution of MANPADS anti-aircraft missiles to ISIS-linked forces can only hope that there is no connection....

The Jihadi enabler-in-Chief may be responsible.

>>he "totally excludes" terrorism as a possible cause of the crash.

'cause, it might be sort of embarrassing to acknoweldge that one of those missing Russian Stingers might've come home to roost....

Meanwhile, in Laraza/Sinaloa land...
"The Children’s Crusade that has invaded our southern borders has an amazing number of well-fed gangster types, grabbing their crotches and giving the finger to the news cameras. These adult-sized gangsters are not children, and they don’t act like children. They are doing sex, dope, and almost certainly work in criminal collusion with the biggest Mexican drug cartel, Sinaloa...."

It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware
of whether or not his services are being used
as a means to accomplish evil ends -
and to act (or NOT) accordingly.

This particular L.I.F.E.R. R.E.M.F. tape worm appears to have began its lively infestation in the bowls of the Carter administration's cyclonic Cluster Frack (diagnosable by colonoscopy of Brzezinski Doctrine).

No ZBig surprise there.
